Are you sure about that? According to this link the National RLC supports CAFTA. I'm a member of the Florida Republican Liberty Caucus and this is what they said about CAFTA:
RLCFL Stands Up for Freer Trade, Privacy
The RLC of Florida weighed in on two national issues in June, advocating the passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) currently under consideration in the U.S. Congress, and protesting the Real ID Act, which received Congressional approval in May.
"In both of these issues, the RLC of Florida is standing up for individual liberty and reducing federal government intervention in people’s lives,” said RLCFL chair Al Gutierrez. “Americans should not pay hefty government tolls to engage in peaceful, voluntary trade with individuals and firms of other nations. Americans should not be tracked by internal passports.”
In both cases the RLC of Florida is echoing efforts of the national RLC earlier this year.
In the case of CAFTA,the national board of the RLC officially endorsed CAFTA at its monthly meeting in May (see story below). In mid-June, the RLC of Florida sent a copy of the RLC’s CAFTA resolution to every Republican member of Florida’s Congressional delegation, urging them to vote for the measure. A vote is imminent.
The letter noted the broad support for CAFTA by libertarian organizations, including the Cato Institute, Reason Foundation, Competitive Enterprise Institute, FreedomWorks, National Taxpayers Union, Americans for Tax Reform and the Council of Citizens Against Government Waste. CAFTA has also received support from the national Libertarian Party, the International Society for Individual Liberty, the James Madison Institute, Club for Growth, and the Movimiento Libertario, the libertarian party of Costa Rica.
Like other libertarian organizations, the RLC opposes many individual provisions of the agreement, but recognizes the substantial net benefit in terms of personal and economic freedom for individuals.
If conservatives won't stand up for freedom, who will?
I'll have to go back to an e-mail I received a few weeks ago. Perhaps it was another organization. I will let you know.
JMC probably got his cue from Ron Paul, who is against everything and then writes a 30 page mini-novel about his vote.
Actually, upon further review, the e-mail against CAFTA was from the Liberty Committee. Sorry about the mix-up.
